Chapter 191

Haotian was feeling a bit embarrassed at the moment; hearing their words, it seemed this dog had already awakened a second divine ability!

He had gone to such great trouble to awaken just one, and now he was utterly embarrassed!

As a late-stage Prepared Saint, the Jade Emperor Haotian couldn't even match a dog at the early Xuan Immortal stage? Doesn't he care about face?

Haotian's heart sank—no, absolutely not like this!

Before, it was because there was no time, so he only came once; but today, he obtained permission from Chen the shopkeeper to purchase on his behalf.

In the future, he will definitely have Tai Bai Jin Xing buy golden immortal treasures every day—he has plenty of them!

He doesn't believe that if he keeps eating like this, he'll still fall behind a dog!

Everyone fell into their own thoughts for a moment.

Suddenly, in midair, Yao Ji's illusory form flickered a few times, then gradually faded.

Seeing this, Haotian's heart jolted, he snapped back to awareness, and with an anxious expression said: "Little sister, what's wrong?"

Yang Jian and Yang Chan also noticed.

Though they had experienced this before, so they remained relatively calm, yet they also looked on with concern.

Only the smug Xiao Tian dog wore a bewildered expression—what's going on? Isn't everyone supposed to be envying and flattering him?

"Yang Chan's mother, are you going to fall asleep again?" Yang Jian asked, forcing a calm tone, but if one listened closely, one could sense the reluctance hidden within.

After being separated from mother for so many years, how could such longing be erased by just one or two meetings?

Yao Ji smiled and nodded slightly, but even this small action caused her illusory form to fade further...

Looking at Haotian, Yao Ji whispered: "Elder brother, don't worry—I always need to rest and recharge in the Baolian Lantern after expending my energy; once I've gathered enough, I can awaken again next time."

"Rather than worrying about me, I think it's more important that you and Erlang mend your relationship."

"Since all misunderstandings have already been resolved, I ask you: don't let our relationship deteriorate as it did before, alright?" Yao Ji's voice carried a hint of pleading.

"I have no problem."

Haotian laughed heartily—between him and Yang Jian, he had always been the one wanting to ease their relationship.

But later, seeing it was truly hopeless, he gradually abandoned that thought.

Even so, from the fact that he listened to advice but didn't obey orders, it's clear Haotian never gave up.

Seeing Haotian declare his stance directly, Yao Ji turned her gaze straight to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian didn't answer immediately, but his stern expression couldn't hold back— a flicker of awkwardness crossed his face, he opened his mouth, and squeezed out a "Good." from his throat.

As soon as the words fell, Yang Jian turned his head away, compromising with this hateful man—no matter how he thought about it, he felt stifled inside.

It felt like he had just conceded in an important match.

Seeing Yang Jian finally agree, both Yao Ji and Haotian felt a weight lift from their hearts.

Yao Ji's face showed the relieved expression of one who had set down a heavy burden—she truly feared her son would act stubbornly at a critical moment and ruin things.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Yao Ji then turned her body toward Chen Nuo, who sat before the counter, and bowed deeply.

"Shopkeeper Chen, thank you for your life-saving grace." Her voice was sincere and heartfelt.

Of course, it's understandable—without Chen Nuo, Yao Ji might have merely dissipated between heaven and earth.

Chen Nuo waved his hand casually and said: "No problem."

After all, it's Yang Chan who's more impressive—she managed to awaken that kind of divine ability; otherwise, even if it were him, he wouldn't have done it.

In midair, Yao Ji slowly rose to her feet, while her utterly dim illusory form began to scatter, until finally, everything vanished.

Yao Ji's soul had already returned to the Baolian Lantern; to appear again, she must wait for her soul energy to replenish fully.

This divine ability isn't merely about lodging the soul in a treasure; it also inscribes,

a formation capable of reuniting soul power within the treasure.

This is the key to nourishing the soul.

Gazing at Yang Chan holding the Baolian Lantern, Haotian wiped his mouth with a tissue—he had nearly finished eating.

"Chan'er, do you know when your mother will next recover and awaken?" Haotian probed.

Yang Chan shook her head: "I don't know either."

"When spiritual energy is abundant, it should be faster, I suppose—but as for exactly when mother will awaken, I can't be certain." Yang Chan replied honestly.

Hearing this, Haotian's eyes flashed with sharp light, he murmured, then said: "How about this—Chan'er, you temporarily entrust this Baolian Lantern to your uncle, me."

"I will gather the stellar essence of the Zhou Tian in the Heavenly Court; the spiritual energy above the Heavenly Court far surpasses that of the lower realm—placing the Baolian Lantern there will surely allow little sister to recover as soon as possible."

Haotian stated his purpose.

"No way!" Before Yang Chan could respond, Yang Jian furrowed his brows, face full of vigilance: "Not needed—my Guanjiangkou also has a spirit-gathering great formation; even compared to the Heavenly Court, it's not inferior!"

"Moreover, this Baolian Lantern was bestowed upon my sister by the goddess Nüwa—it absolutely cannot be taken by anyone else." Yang Jian seemed to have forgotten his earlier demand for the Baolian Lantern, and began beating his own drum.

"Alright then." Haotian twitched the corner of his mouth, resignedly said.

They even brought out the goddess Nüwa—there was nothing he could do.

Although he is the Sovereign of the Heavenly Court, the true ruler of Heaven and Earth is the Holy Person, and he must also show respect.

However, compared to his hatred for the Buddhist Sect's Holy Person, he harbors goodwill toward the goddess Nüwa.

Because among the Six Sages, the one who causes the least trouble is the goddess Nüwa—under normal circumstances, as long as one doesn't provoke her actively, no disaster will come, let alone constant scheming and calculation.

"Then, if little sister awakens, you must tell me immediately!" Having no choice, Haotian earnestly urged again.

How could such a brief reunion possibly suffice?

Yang Jian was about to instinctively retort, but the words reached his lips when he suddenly recalled his mother's instruction.

"Good."

Yao Ji fell asleep, and after a while, the others hadn't eaten much either—just finished one portion of ingredients and left.

Although the Xiao Tian dog hadn't eaten enough and protested loudly in protest and condemnation, he couldn't resist Yang Jian directly dragging him away by force.

Looking at the empty hall, Chen Nuo lightly waved his hand, and gathered all the leftover food and cold dishes.

After scanning the surroundings, a thought stirred, and instantly a sword hung on each of the east, west, south, and north walls of the hall.

The swords were narrow and long, exquisitely crafted; though wrapped in their scabbards, their sharpness was not to be ignored.

Chen Nuo nodded slightly, feeling that something had been missing before, but now it was much better.

Using a Prepared Saint-level treasure as decoration, there should be few such cases in the Three Realms.

Raising his eyebrows, Chen Nuo smiled slightly—today was truly interesting; he even got to witness a family feud drama, never expecting that Haotian and Yang Jian could reconcile one day.

Tapping lightly on the table, Chen Nuo began to ponder, as his Chaos Residence's customer source had been growing steadily, putting it on the right track.

But relatively speaking, his fame was still lacking.

Thinking this, Chen Nuo's eyes flashed with a glint—let Wukong use this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to formally proclaim the name of his Chaos Residence throughout the Three Realms!

Haotian directly used spatial laws to return to his Qin Zheng Dian.

After all, if he returned ostentatiously and was seen by other immortals, the impact would not be good.

How could the mighty Jade Emperor not guard the Heavenly Court, but instead wander idly in the Lower Realm? If this got out, it would be a great loss of face!
